Some suspect the studio\u2019s already working on an Indiana Jones sequel (Bethesda)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MachineGames\u2019 latest financial report mentions plans for multiple projects and what might just be Wolfenstein 3.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s difficult to be enthusiastic about Xbox<\/a>\u2019s gaming prospects after another brutal wave of layoffs has seen hundreds of its employees<\/a> out of work and several projects cancelled<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some of Microsoft\u2019s internal studios have escaped relatively unscathed, though. Case in point: MachineGames, the Swedish studio responsible for Indiana Jones And The Great Circle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The lack of official information about the layoffs means there\u2019s no telling how badly MachineGames was impacted, if it was at all, but a recent financials report from the studio suggests it has more than one game currently in development.<\/p>\n

Spotted and shared by Timur222 on Bluesky<\/a>, the report covers MachineGames\u2019 2024 fiscal year, which runs from January 2024 to December 2024, and by all accounts it seems to have been a successful one.<\/p>\n

Net sales were higher than the year before, with MachineGames generating roughly 428 million SEK (about \u00a333 million) compared to the approximately 350 million SEK in 2023.<\/p>\n

As a result, the studio turned higher profits than both its 2023 and 2022 financial years, with a net profit of about 26 million SEK (about \u00a32 million). You can view the results here<\/a> and on the surface, they sound good \u2013 although who knows whether the higher-ups at Microsoft see it that way.<\/p>\n

MachineGames’s financial statements for 2024 are outFuture Development:With new exciting projects in development, MachineGames is optimistic about the future for both the company and the industry as a wholeOther info<\/p>\n

\u2014 Timur222 (@timur222.bsky.social)<\/a> 2025-07-20T14:08:09.587Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

In an attached management report, MachineGames says: \u2018With new exciting projects in development, MachineGames is optimistic about the future for both the company and the industry as a whole.\u2019<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll note they say projects<\/em>, in the plural, which would seem to mean at least two, even though there\u2019s no official word on what any of them are \u2013 but there are plenty of theories.<\/p>\n

The most likely is a Quake reboot, which MachineGames has been hinting about for years and even seemed to be teased during the marketing for The Great Circle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only have MachineGames staff openly talked about wanting to reboot the Quake series, which was originally created by id Software, but they\u2019ve already contributed new expansions to the remasters of Quake 1<\/a> and Quake 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n
